Poltalloch Cist 2

With another drenching on the way I left the car at the North Lodge of Poltalloch House and splashed along the road / track, badly flooded in some areas. As soon as another track is met, head uphill and west. Look for a mound covered in all sorts vegetation, weirdly almost all on its own.

Sadly the capstone had vanished or was covered in turf, the rest of the cist was gradually being covered in moss. The 4 slabs that make up the cist are sort of in place.

Not much to see, but a strip back of turf would reveal all sorts of secrets, probably loads of rock art.
